Today shake-up ‘MEL IS IN, KARL IS OUT!'

Seven’s former golden girl could be set to topple Nine’s former golden boy...

- 

While industry insiders had her pegged to reclaim her spot on Seven’s Sunrise couch after Samantha Armytage’s swift exit earlier this year, Melissa Doyle has shocked Australia by announcing she’s set to star on rival station Nine, hosting a new true crime series, Australia Behind Bars.

And while Nine has stated that she hasn’t yet signed a fulltime contract, a wellplaced industry insider reveals a secret “five-year deal” has been put into place that could see Mel, 51, dominate the breakfast TV timeslot once again – and rake in millions!

“Mel has her sights on the Today show,” the source tells Woman’s Day. “She’s always wanted to return to breakfast TV, and rumour has it at Nine that she’ll be doing part of the summer coverage on Today with a view to taking over the reins next year.”

MEL’S IN CHARGE!
